Dryer Vent Cleaning Raleigh | Preventing A Home Fire This content was written for Window Ninjas Window & Pressure Cleaning. Clogged dryer vents and lint can be prevented with a little hindsight and a good dryer vent cleaning. At dryer vent cleaning Raleigh we have been educating and cleaning dryer vents for many customers for twenty-five years and counting. I know that is a long time! Over the years we have seen so much lint come out of those dryer vents that it is unbelievable. So many pillows could have been stuffed with all of that crazy lint we have collected and thrown away. Here are just a few facts about home fires created by clogged dryer vents to spur you on to getting yours cleaned out. According to the U.S. Fire Administration, clothes dryers are responsible for 15,000 structure fires each year and 80 percent of those are caused by clogged dryer vents. Wowzers! There is also the possibility of dangerous fumes backing up into the inside of your home. Carbon monoxide which should be expelled to the outside of the home along with hot air and moisture created by the dryer and clothing is supposed to vent outside through the dryer vent, but a clogged vent will not allow this to happen correctly. Unfortunately, the only place that these fumes will go will be back inside of the home. This obviously will cause air quality problems for your family and pets.

The value of having your vent cleaned by our experts at dryer vent cleaning Raleigh can not be high enough on your priority list. Especially with the threat of a home fire as a possibility.

Dryer vent cleaning only takes about 45 minutes to one hour to complete. So during that time you can take the dog for a walk, enjoy a cup of coffee and read a book, or just watch a little television. All the while we will unhook the dryer, clean the vent out thoroughly, hook it back up, and then make sure that it is running properly again. If you are the proud owner of a brand new home, then you have no need to worry because there shouldn't be any lint build up in your dryer vent yet. Be proactive though and make sure to have your dryer vent cleaned out regularly at least once a year. Depending on how much clothing you are drying in your home will determine how much lint there is going to be in both the lint trap and the dryer vent. Most of us always remember to clean out the lint trap after each dryer cycle, but for some reason we forget to clean out our dryer vents. This is probably because it is at the back of the dryer and we just do not see it. Heck I hardly ever even pull my dryer out from the wall to clean behind it and boy when I do it sure is a hot mess back there. It is like a fuzzy craze of dust and lint all mixed together. You know what I am talking about. You see the same mess under and behind your kitchen refrigerator. Yuck! So if a pair of socks accidentally falls behind the dryer watch out! A thorough dryer vent cleaning Raleigh service can help your dryer to function properly and keep it running for a longer time. If it is clogged it can shorten the lifespan of the machine. By having to run multiple cycles to get the clothing dry due to a clogged dryer vent or running the dryer longer, the dryer will eventually have internal problems and need repairs. Your energy efficiency of the machine will suffer too. It is possible that you will find your energy bill creeping up as well. The wear and tear alone on the machine from having to run it so much just to get the clothing dry would make anyone crazy! It is definitely best to keep up with the maintenance of the dryer vent and not have to incur the costs of repairs on the machine itself. Another pitfall of having lint get trapped inside of the dryer vent is mold. When the lint becomes damp due to the moisture that is released by the dryer it will stick to lint or water will create pockets inside the vent. The clogged vent will create bigger water pockets and more space for mold to grow. The unhealthy repercussions for you and your loved ones can not be stressed enough. The breathing implications of such a harmful substance to those with asthma or allergies to mold and mildew would be increased. But by calling the experts at dryer vent cleaning Raleigh and having them clean that dryer vent you will be sure to avoid this potential problem all together.
